Yarngrandma-It is a type of poncho-asymmetrical (did I spell that right?). Very easy to make. Knit a rectangle. Fold in half lengthwise. Sew up the top of one side 1/3-1/2 across. Voila! You have an asymmetrical (ok, I'll stick with that spelling, right or wrong!) poncho. Denise

Great! I've saved it. Thanks.

It's called a wrap by the designer but it sure looks like a poncho to me!

I love the pattern. If you really like it, go for it. I would, what can you get for$9.00 these days?

Definitely a modern take on a poncho. More like a rectangle shawl sewn together. The edge is pretty. I'm very cheap when it comes to paying for a pattern (fixed income and all). I'll scour the net before paying. And I usually find something I like better!

Look at the photo of the young lady wearing the garment. Zoom in on the longer side on her left arm, you can see the seam up that arm to the neck. Now look at the photo that shows the shorter side and zoom in on that. You can see the seam here as well.

Me too leighanne! Since I've retired, I watch my $$ a little more closely. And there are so many free and inexpensive patterns out there.

Free is ALWAYS right in my price range!!!

I would call it a poncho. Expensive pattern though.

It looks like a poncho to me. Beautiful pattern in any case. Lydia, wanahme, beadwrangler

I love the basic poncho pattern that you can design however you like. Thanks for the link. Lydia, wanahme

The ladies are right. Easily adapted to designing your own look. I really do like it to. It is artzy. The black and white striped one is made in a much longer rectangle. but you do knit something about 60" by maybe 22" depending on the length of wearer from below waist to shoulder. Fold in half and leave neck portion open and sew together rest of side of wrap-poncho. It should turn out lovely for your sister. The decorative edge would be nice also in a different color.

You KP ladies are very inspiring, thank you all for your insights!

Gorgeous.

Not sure you could use a wrap pattern partially sewn together. It would be too narrow in the shoulders. I had tried this once, figuring I could make a shawl and sew it together and have a poncho, but the fit was not correct.

I completely agree...prices on patterns are WAY out of control...I even hesitate when a pattern is $5.00 for a single pattern...
IF we all stop buying these pricey patterns they will come back down to earth..

Just saying.

Whatever it's called, I wouldn't pay $9.00 for the pattern.

double post...please remove admin...thanks.

Exactly, the sooner they realise it is turnover rather than high initial prices that increases profits the better. I do not object to designers profiting by their efforts but enough is as good as a feast. They'd make a lot more selling 100 at a dollar each then 5 at $9.00+

Very nice poncho but expensive pattern and to make.
